1. Development of algorithms for solving heat and mass transfer with phase and structural changes using GPU

   The theme is aimed at the development of numerical algorithms designed primarily for solving heat transfer with phase transformations using high parallelization of code. For the solution should fully take advantage of special graphic processor units TESLA. Expected to use MATLAB and C++. Algorithms can be network-oriented methods (eg method of control volumes) or mesh free methods.

4. The optimization attenuation of fluid temperature oscillations using latent heat thermal storage

   The scope of the theme is the attenuation of fluid temperature oscillations by means of latent heat thermal storage. The phase change of matter at constant pressure is almost an isothermal process and it is associated with the transfer of huge amount of heat (latent heat). This phenomenon can be employed in order to attenuate oscillations of fluid temperature. The investigations will focus on the attenuation characteristics of latent heat thermal storage with regard to thermal properties of the thermal storage material (heat of fusion, thermal conductivity). The studied cases will include the step change of fluid temperature and the periodic changes of fluid temperature (square wave, sinusoidal). The attention will be paid to the attenuation characteristics of latent heat thermal storage for various amplitudes and frequencies of the fluid temperature changes.
